It has been a very exciting few weeks for chess. What would you like to discuss? It’s Saturday Open Forum. The forum is yours.
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I would like to know what’s next for Kamsky? Will he retire from chess and be a lawyer?
Sad to see Kamsky lose so badly. He should retire and not look so ridiculous anymore. It’s time for Nakamura.
Kramnik is best. He should be World Champion for life.
Kamsky has had two shots now and missed both times. He’s just not high enough class.

He already retired. Then he unretired.
Nakamura? I think the next American to seriously challenge for the WC will be Tommy Polgar.
“It’s time for Nakamura.”
Yeah, all he is good at is ICC.
Naka needs a lesson in good manners and sportsmanship.
On top of that he needs to be number one in the USA and he is far from number one.
Bleh.
Laugherty is getting desperate. It’ll be interesting to see him on the witness stand under oath. LOL
